Definitions
- the invention relates to a compression system for exerting an adjustable compression on an extremity of the body according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Compression bandages for application to a body extremity of a patient for example an arm or a leg, are known from the prior art, with which a certain compression pressure can be exerted on the body extremity.
- a certain compression pressure can be exerted on the body extremity.
- chronic venous insufficiencies and vascular diseases such as venous outflow disorders, venous insufficiencies, lymphedema, venous leg ulcers, etc. can be treated therapeutically, for example in order to promote venous blood flow or the outflow of congested lymphatic fluids as reported by E. Rabe et al.
- tubular compression articles such as compression stockings or sleeves
- the compression pressure exerted by these tubular compression articles on the extremity of the body depends on the one hand on the elasticity of the tubular compression article in the circumferential direction and on the other hand on the circumference of the body extremity.
- a specific, given compression pressure or a given compression profile can be exerted on the extremity of the body with such a tubular compression article.
- compression bandages are known from the prior art, which have at least one band or a plurality of bands, which under expansion of the Straps and / or a base body to which the straps are attached, looped around an extremity of the body and fixed there by means of attachment means, for example Velcro fasteners.
- the compression pressure exerted on the body extremity by such compression bandages depends, in addition to the extent of the body extremity, on the stretching of the ligaments or the main body of the compression bandage with which they are attached to the body extremity.
- Such compression bandages therefore make it possible to set different compression pressures or different compression profiles along the longitudinal direction of the body extremity, since the compression pressure exerted on the body extremity at certain points by the tensile force with which the stretching of the ligaments or the base body of the bandage is brought about, according to a desired one Compression pressure or the desired pressure profile can be selected.
- compression bandages are already proposed in the prior art, which indicate the compression pressure exerted on the body extremity, for example by means of markings that are attached over the entire length of the bandage on the outside and due to a change in the shape or the distance of the Markings allow conclusions to be drawn about the stretching of the ligaments or the base body of the bandage and thus, given the known extent of the body extremity, the compression pressure exerted.
- Therapeutic clothing items for generating a compression on a body extremity which contain a stretchable band or a plurality of stretchable bands, which can be stretched along an elastic axis and wrapped around the body extremity and fixed there under stretching, wherein on an outside of the band or the Bands are attached markings that allow a comparison of the position of the markings with a reference position to detect the elongation of the elastic material of the band.
- the distance between the markings and the reference marking is measured by means of a measuring card with a scale, and the elongation that is applied is derived from the elongation detected in this way Compression pressure determined as a function of the previously measured extent of the body's extremity.
- the therapeutic clothing item contains a plurality of flexible straps which are connected to one another via a base body and can be fixed to an extremity of the body under stretching for exerting a compression pressure, markings being made on the outside of the straps, which are provided in the manner described above
- a measurement card it is possible to record the stretching of the ligaments and, from this, to draw conclusions about the compression pressure exerted by the ligaments applied to the extremities of the body when stretched. It is assumed that the compression pressure exerted is inversely proportional to the circumference of the body's extremity and that if the circumference is known, the expansion can be measured with the measurement card in order to generate a compression corresponding to the expansion.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of showing an elastic compression textile which can be applied to a body extremity in a targeted manner while maintaining a predetermined compression pressure or a predetermined compression profile along the longitudinal direction of the body extremity, the compression pressure or the compression pressure profile being adjustable as precisely as possible target.
- the elastic compression textile should be able to be applied to an extremity of the body in the simplest and fastest way possible while maintaining the specified compression pressure or the specified pressure profile.
- the application of the compression textile should in particular also be able to be carried out by the patient himself.
- the compression system comprises an at least regionally elastic compression textile with a base body and at least one band which is arranged on the base body and has a free end on which first fastening means are arranged, the compression textile being loopable around the extremity of the body while stretching and maintaining the stretch by means of the first fastening means can be fixed to the extremity of the body and the compression textile expands when it is placed on the extremity of the body as a function of a tensile force exerted on the band to generate the elongation, so that when the compression textile is put on, a compression dependent on the elongation is exerted on the extremity of the body.
- the compression system comprises a force measuring device which can be detachably attached to the free ends of the ligament or ligaments by means of further fastening means.
- a particularly manually generated tensile force in the compression system according to the invention is first transferred via the force measuring device to a band of the compression textile and then, if necessary, one after the other to the other bands contained in the compression textile, whereby the respective band and / or the base body expands by a distance that is dependent on the tensile force applied.
- the tensile force exerted on the respective band via the force measuring device is simultaneously recorded by the force measuring device and expediently displayed via a display integrated in the force measuring device or a display connected to the force measuring device.
- the respective band is fixed to the body extremity by means of the (first) fastening means while maintaining the elongation generated by the tensile force .
- This process is carried out for the complete application of the compression textile to a body extremity for each band in a corresponding manner until all bands of the compression textile are attached to the Body extremity fixed and the compression textile is thereby applied to the body extremity.

- a (maximum) distal setpoint pressure and a desired pressure curve of the compression pressure in the longitudinal direction of the body extremity can also be specified.
- the width B of the individual straps can be selected in such a way that the predefined pressure course results directly when a uniform tensile force is applied to the respective strap.
- a steady progression of the compression pressure can be set, which continuously decreases from the (maximum) distal target pressure at the distal end of the compression textile in the proximal direction to a predetermined proportion of the distal target pressure (i.e. down to a proximal residual pressure), as is the case with medical compression stockings Case is.

- electrical force measuring devices in particular resistive, inductive, capacitive or piezoelectric force transducers, can also be used. These force measuring devices are characterized by particularly good accuracy and reproducibility and enable the tensile force exerted to be output via an electronic display. By coupling the electronic display to a data processing system, this in turn enables documentation of the tensile forces exerted on the ligaments when the body extremity is applied or the compression pressure exerted on the body extremity or the pressure profile.
- the compression textile comprises three or more straps. If a pressure profile with a compression pressure decreasing from distal to proximal is to be applied to a longer body extremity, such as a leg, it is advantageous if the compression textile comprises at least four bands or more.
